* ''Literature/LoutOfCountsFamily'': Kim Rok Soo, a man in his early 30's, reincarnated as Cale Henituse, a minor villain in the ShowWithinAShow "The Birth of a Hero". Wanting to avoid his canonical ill-fate encounter with Choi Han and keeping his IdleRich but peaceful lifestyle, Cale acted to get the story going as smoothly as possible, but as Cale slowly starts to help make changes such as rescuing Raon who would be killed under Choi Han's hand in the original story, things had gone OffTheRails.

* [[SincerityMode Yes. There are, in fact, people who believe this to be a possible thing.]] An infamous example is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFRjrLmc_4c the Final Fantasy house]], where the people the original poster met believed themselves to be reincarnations of fictional characters from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII''. In case you're also wondering; yes, the leader is more or less running it like a cult. On a less cult-y scale, there are those who believe Multiverse theory means fictional realities might exist in another universe, and that we reincarnate into those other realities when we die. This is a bit of a stretch, as most science points to other potential universes being relatively close to our own with minor differences..

* The TropeNamer, as well as the series that made this trope so popular, is ''Literature/MyNextLifeAsAVillainessAllRoutesLeadToDoom''.
** A RichBitch named Catarina Claes hits her head as a child and regains memories of her past life as an {{Otaku}} schoolgirl. She remembers an Otome RomanceGame she played in her past life, and realizes that she has reincarnated into the world of the game. But in the game, Catarina Claes is the villainess who is doomed to exile or death years later for bullying the heroine. To avoid the predestined fate, Catarina turns over a new leaf and uses her memories of the game to avoid making the same mistakes as the original Catarina that led to her downfall. However, she inadvertently makes each and every character, even the [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer heroine]] who was supposed to enchant the four male leads, fall in love with her.
** ZigZagged with another character. In the novel's timeline, it turns out that [[spoiler:Sophia, another of the romantic rivals in ''Fortune Lover'']] is the reincarnation of [[spoiler:the best friend of the girl who became Catarina]]. However, unlike Catarina, her PastLifeMemories remain latent and mostly come to her through DreamingOfTimesGoneBy [[spoiler:plus the time her past life pulled a BackupFromOtherworld through a voice behind her head]]. That past life, however, might still have an influence on her; the two seem to share a common obsession with romance fiction.

* ''Literature/MarriedThriceToSaltedFish'': A young man from modern-day China dies and is reborn in a book set in ancient China that he'd read prior to his death as Lu Wancheng, a character who died early on in the book after being married off to the book's villain Lin Qingyu. Then he dies and gets reborn as a different character from the same book. And then this happens a ''third'' time. Unusually for this trope, he's ''not'' the main point-of-view character and the POV character is instead Lin Qingyu who starts out with no idea of his new husband's true origins.
